Special Notes

These homemade waffle cones are crispy, sweet, and perfect for ice cream. The key is rolling the hot waffle into a cone shape immediately after cooking. You can customize the flavor by adding different extracts or spices. For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder to the flour mixture. These cones are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They make a great addition to any ice cream sundae.
